What exactly makes a GUI "native", in your view? WebKit and MSHTML/Edge, they all render to the screen with native APIs. They're part of the operating system. Lots of native applications have used these for decades.
- distances 6y agoFor me "native" on desktop still means compiled to target architecture without any runtime VM/interpretation. I agree this is getting more muddy on mobile as, say, "native Android" almost always now means bytecode using the platform SDKs.
